Splenectomy
A splenectomy is the removal of the entire spleen. Surgery to remove just part of the spleen is called a partial splenectomy. The spleen is a fist-sized organ located under the diaphragm on the left side of the body, close to the stomach. It plays an important part in the body’s immune system. The spleen contains special white blood cells that destroy bacteria and help the body fight infection. Furthermore, the spleen is responsible for producing red blood cells and removing or filtering old red blood cells from circulating through the body.
